The Start Of Cam Warren’s Millionare Journey

Member since 2023 · 7 posts · 5 votes

Hey I'm new to the bigger pockets community. I'm currently 19 and have been a real estate investor since I was 16. I'm ready to scale and begin my own portfolio of buy and holds using the BRRRR strategy. I have been wholesaling and flipping but ready to create true wealth for myself.

Hey Cam, I love that you started so young and would love to hear how you did it. I think it would be inspiring to see how people like you get started so young in RE. There seems to be more and more teens wanting to go into real estate.

Love that you're thinking of using the BRRRR strategy. I'd recommend finding a lender that can seamlessly do both the Hard Money lending and refinancing to make it easier for you. I see you're in Alabama. Are you thinking of investing there as well?

Welcome to BiggerPockets!
How were you able to invest in real estate at the age of 16? Even wholesaling or flipping requires contracts, and you're not old enough to sign.
There are a lot of young people looking to start, and it would be nice to hear more of your story and how they could follow your process.

Hey, Nathan! Im glad you asked. I've only completed one wholesale transaction before I started flipping. The way I did it was I created an entity (LLC). With the LLC my mom just "does business as" my LLC because I trusted her but I also got her to do that because the legal age in Alabama (where i'm from) is 19. But I found an owner of a seafood company that had money but didn't have time and I had time but didn't have money. So that was my first partnership, we bought houses and I controlled the whole process and I learned so much. The reason I was able to start and learn so much is a testament to finding good men and women, I just had to have the courage to open my mouth and tell them my idea. Thank you for asking because I believe my story can help someone else.

Absolutely. That is a good idea of finding a lender for the rehab as well as the refi on the backend I greatly appreciate that idea. I joined Nate Barger’s BRRRR Investment Academy and first learned the process there but I was just flipping houses at that time. So I learned the business of Construction through flipping as far as how it should look, fair pricing, the language of contracts, but with Nate I learned the strategic strategy and ready to get started building my portfolio!
